Luke Bryan cancels Country Jam performance, Parker McCollum sings to number one fan | Music City Minute

Whatever Luke Bryan is battling, it is kicking his behind. Unfortunately, the country star has had to cancel his performance at Country Jam in Grand Junction. In a statement posted to his social media, Bryan said he was really sorry that he couldn’t play this weekend’s show, and that his voice isn’t there yet. However, not all is lost for country fans attending the festival on the Western Slope. The “Mind of a Country Boy” singer confirmed his buddy, Eric Church, is stepping in to fill his headline spot on Saturday.

There is something very soothing about singing country songs to your kiddos. When my boys were babies, I used to sing “Cry, Cry, Cry” and “Country Bumpkin” to them. Parker McCollum admitted that his favorite lullaby to sing his 10-month-old son, Major, is a Randy Travis tune from a few years ago, called “Where That Came From.” The revelation definitely paints in adorable picture of Parker McCollum and his baby bonding.
